Recognition and defense responses are early events in plant-pathogen interactions and between lichen symbionts. The effect of elicitors on responses between lichen symbionts is not well understood. The objective of this study was to compare the difference in recognition- and defense-related gene expression as a result of culture extracts (containing secreted water-soluble elicitors) from compatible and incompatible interactions at each of 3 resynthesis stages in the symbionts of Cladonia rangiferina. This study investigated gene expression by quantitative PCR in cultures of C. rangiferina and its algal partner, Asterochloris glomerata/irregularis, after incubation with liquid extracts from cultures of compatible and incompatible interactions at 3 early resynthesis stages. Recognition-related genes were significantly upregulated only after physical contact, demonstrating symbiont recognition in later resynthesis stages than expected. One of 3 defense-related genes, chit, showed significant downregulation in early resynthesis stages and upregulation in the third resynthesis stage, demonstrating a need for the absence of chitinase early in thallus formation and a need for its presence in later stages as an algal defense reaction. This study revealed that recognition- and defense-related genes are triggered by components in culture extracts at 3 stages of resynthesis, and some defense-related genes may be induced throughout thallus growth. The parasitic nature of the interaction shows parallels between lichen symbionts and plant pathogenic systems.

Does the XPA-FEN1 Interaction Concern to Nucleotide Excision Repair or Beyond?

Article Synopsis
- * XPA is a key protein in NER, involved in later stages of the repair process, and works alongside the FEN1 enzyme, which is essential for completing newly synthesized DNA strands and also plays a role in base excision repair.
- * Research shows that XPA and FEN1 can form complexes both with and without DNA present, suggesting they interact directly; however, XPA appears to slightly reduce FEN1's activity, indicating a regulatory role in DNA repair processes.
Direct Bioisostere Replacement Enabled by Metallaphotoredox Deoxydifluoromethylation.

The replacement of a functional group with its corresponding bioisostere is a widely employed tactic during drug discovery campaigns that allows medicinal chemists to improve the ADME properties of candidates while maintaining potency. However, the incorporation of bioisosteres typically requires lengthy de novo resynthesis of potential candidates, which represents a bottleneck in their broader evaluation. An alternative would be to directly convert a functional group into its corresponding bioisostere at a late stage.

This work focuses on the study of the physicochemical changes that take place during the first stage of ripening of plantain, with particular attention to the changes in the orthorhombic and hexagonal nanocrystals present in this starch, and its relation shift with resistance starch. Significant changes were observed in the proximal analysis of plantain flour. A gradual increase in moisture content was attributed to the high content of crystalline structures and molecules that can be removed by drying.

Purpose Of Review: The ketogenic diet has been proposed as a nutritional strategy in sports. This review was undertaken to provide an overview of the recent literature concerning the effects of ketogenic diet on exercise performance and training adaptations.
Recent Findings: Most recent literature on the ketogenic diet and exercise performance showed no beneficial effects, especially for trained individuals.
Plasma exchange as an adjunctive therapy in anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitis.

Introduction: We summarize evidence for the role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in the treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). TPE rapidly removes ANCA IgG, complement and coagulation factors important in the pathogenesis of AAV. TPE has been used in patients with rapidly deteriorating renal function to achieve early disease control, allowing time for immunosuppressive agents to prevent resynthesis of ANCA.
